11/2010: WJRT TV Ch. 12 Flint and WTVG TV Ch. 13 Toledo are sold by ABC/Disney to SJL Holdings; sale prices were $13.2M for WJRT and $16.8M for WTVG. Closing will return the stations to SJL which sold stations to ABC in 1995 when there was concern about the affiliation of WXYZ-TV Ch. 7 Detroit due to affiliate changes involving CBS and Fox in that market. The FCC approves the sale in February 2011 and it closes in April 2011.

10/1994: Announced that Capital Cities/ABC will be purchasing WTVG and moving ABC affiliation to Channel 13 from Channel 24. It was widely reported
that ABC's purchase of WTVG and WJRT-TV 12 Flint was done to keep a VHF presence for the network near Detroit in the event of a possible affiliate
switch by WXYZ TV 7 which was being courted by CBS after that network lost Channel 2 in Detroit to FOX.

1984: Storer Broadcasting purchased Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR), which was then forced to sell WTVG within 18 months due to ownership concentration
with two other nearby stations being acquired by KKR, WJBK Detroit and WJW Cleveland.

1958: WTOL-TV 11 signs on and becomes Toledo's CBS affiliate and also takes some ABC shows from WSPD-TV. Both WSPD-TV and WTOL-TV are secondary
ABC affiliates.

1955: DuMont network shuts down.

7/21/1948: On air as WSPD-TV, owner is Storer Broadcasting which co-owned WSPD AM 1370. The station's primary affiliation was with NBC but as it was
Toledo's only TV station, it also carried shows from CBS, ABC, and DuMont as well.
